Calling all PurseBlog readers, both near New York and far – we are co-hosting an event that we would love to see you attend! We have been working with our friends at Heritage Luxury to bring you an inside look at how the auction world works, what Heritage Auction lists, and now, details on their Spring Luxury Auction. While pictures may be worth a thousand words, being able to see a piece up close and personal is so much more rewarding; we’re giving you that chance.

On Thursday, April 26th, we will co-host a cocktail event and private preview for PurseBlog readers. Held at the prestigious Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion on New York City’s Upper East Side, Heritage Auctions is opening their doors early for you to have a chance to see the preview before anyone else. There will be luxury accessories and jewelry by Hermes, Chanel, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Vlad and I will be attending the event along with the rest of the PurseBlog team. Over all the years, one of my absolute favorite things to do is meet PurseBlog and PurseForum readers, and what better opportunity than this? On PurseBlog, we will be giving you a peek at the items that will be up for auction over the next few days, but we would love to have the chance to meet you at the event. If you are in NYC or can make it, please mark off April 26th and come have cocktails with us while we do what we do best: obsess over designer handbags.
